Efficient Recycled Algorithms for Quantitative Trait Models on Phylogenies
We present an efficient and flexible method for computing likelihoods for phenotypic traits on a phylogeny. The method does not resort to Monte Carlo computation but instead blends Felsenstein's discrete character pruning algorithm with methods for numerical quadrature. It is not limited to Gaussian models and adapts readily to model uncertainty in the observed trait values. We demonstrate the ...
متن کاملEfficient Algorithms for Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping Problems
Rapid advances in molecular genetics push the need for efficient data analysis. Advanced algorithms are necessary for extracting all possible information from large experimental data sets. We present a general linear algebra framework for quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, using both linear regression and maximum likelihood estimation. The formulation simplifies future comparisons between a...
متن کاملTwo newgraphicalmethods formapping trait evolution on phylogenies
1. Modern phylogenetic comparative biology uses data from the relationships between species (phylogeny) combined with comparative information for phenotypic traits to draw model-based statistical inferences about the evolutionary past. Recent years have seen phylogeny methods for evolutionary inference become central in the study of organic evolution. 2. Here, I present two different graphical ...
متن کاملAn efficient Bayesian model selection approach for interacting quantitative trait loci models with many effects.
We extend our Bayesian model selection framework for mapping epistatic QTL in experimental crosses to include environmental effects and gene-environment interactions. We propose a new, fast Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm to explore the posterior distribution of unknowns. In addition, we take advantage of any prior knowledge about genetic architecture to increase posterior probability on mor...
متن کاملEfficient and Robust Statistical Methodologies for Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis
Quantitative genetic information has many applications in humans, plants and animals. Various statistical approaches have been developed to identify QTLs by using molecular markers, but most are parametrically based. The normality assumption of the underlying distributions greatly simplifies the testing and estimation problems. However, if this assumption is violated, false detection of a major...
